Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[exspeedydotcom]

After a trip to the grocery store, Roy was ready to actually fend for himself for once, and what better to make on a chilly January day than some nice, spicy comfort food? That was right. Roy was making chili. From Oliver Queen's recipe. One teaspoon cayenne, three tablespoons chili powder, and a healthy dose of Tabasco sauce. God help the unwary.

While it simmered away on the stove, he sat down and grabbed the remote to see what was on TV. This was shaping up to be a good night, really. Chili, TV, and the entertainment value of rookies experiencing chili that tasted like fire for the first time. Yeah, he had no complaints.

And for the record: Yes, he did have functioning taste buds. His sanity...well, that was more questionable.

((Open!))

Sniff. Sniff. Dinah followed her nose up two floors after work, and grinned when she saw someone was cooking, and who it was. "Hey. Ooo. You're not going to eat that all by yourself, right?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"No, help yourself," Roy said without thinking about it, completely forgetting that this Dinah would have no idea what she was getting herself into. "It should be just about ready."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Awesome!" Dinah grabbed a bowl and a big spoon, then poured herself a glass of water. "Mmm, crackers... Do you make this a lot? It looks complicated."

For once Jaime was hungry and didn't feel up to actually cooking anything himself, so he was wandering from common room to common room. And what do you know? He totally lucked out.

"Food!"

[exspeedydotcom]

"Chili!" Roy said, holding up his own bowl. "Help yourself, man."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Dude, you're so going to regret making that offer." Jaime was hungry.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Jaime!" Ahahah, yes! "How's that webcam working out for you?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"What webcam?" Jaime asked, frowning. No, he wasn't making that connection.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"You always shout out like that?" Hayley joked. "That must get awfully tiring."

[weldedtomyspine]

"It's why I need so much food," Jaime grinned. "To keep my energy up."

Bobby was a teenage boy, which meant he came equipped with food-radar and also the desire to crash the DC convention.

"If you're sharing, you're my new favorite person of the day," Bobby declared.

[exspeedydotcom]

"I'm sharing, all right," Roy confirmed, "but you might want to reserve favorite person status until after you've tasted it, bro. It's a little hot."

OMG convention-crasher.

"Heeey, Bobby." Let him find out the truth the way she did. Maybe cold powers worked on the chili? Maybe not? Hmm. "How's your week going?"

Because there were too many DC in the house Jean peeked her head into the room after smelling what might have been food. "Hello?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"Jean, hey!" Roy said, grinning at her. "Come on in, have some chili!" And then probably never trust Roy's cooking again!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Never too many DC! "Hey, Jean. C'mon in, Roy's cooking." Dinah grinned. "How's your week going?" Teeny bite of chili. Nom. Ow.

[longislandiceme]

"Jeeeeean!" Bobby waved. He so was not warning her about the chili, teammate or not.

Azula wandered around the dorms, stretching her legs then she turned around smelling something appetizing, Azula entered the common room. "What is that food?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"It's chili," Roy said helpfully. "It has meat, beans, and tomatoes in it." Well, it did...

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah waved, her mouth full of chili. Not that she'd warn Azula anyway. Ahahahaha.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Azula!" Hayley said, waving excitedly. "Hi!"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley wandered up one floor, just out of boredom.

"Well, what've we got in here?" she asked, snooping about. "Anything iiiiinteresting?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"Just chili," Roy said, waving his spoon around. "Hey."

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Oooh, hey, people in her common room. And food! Elena sniffed the air a few times.

"Who made chili?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"That would be me," Roy said, waving at the blonde girl. "Hi, I'm Roy."
